Cutting Edge has released a new batch of colorful markings for the recent Trumpeter 1/32 Me 262A kit. This set includes the distinctive markings to replicate one of five different aircraft as well as replacement national markings to correct the kit's offerings.

This decal set provides markings for five aircraft:

  • Me 262A-1a, 9./KG(J) 54, Yellow 3, Spring 1945
  • Me 262A-1a, 3./EJG 2, White 14, Lechfeld
  • Me 262A-1a, Kommando Nowotny, White 7, Lechfeld, Nov 1944, as flown by Ofw Hermann Buchner
  • Me 262A-1A, Verbandsfuhrer JV 44, White 3, as flown by General Adolf Galland
  • Me 262A-2a, II./KG 51, Black X

The instructions include nice full-color side and top profiles to illustrate decal placement and relevant color schemes as well as scrap underside markings for under-wing marking placements.

This set will definitely add some distinction to your Trumpeter kit. Highly recommended!
